After a year on leave, I'm back to leading the MSc/LLM Law, Technology and Innovation at @lawstrath.bsky.social, this semester I'll teach Human Rights and Digital Technologies, module coordinated by @adamharkens.bsky.social www.strath.ac.uk/courses/post...

2025 has been the amazing year that brought our son Charlie to me and my husband (he's just learned to walk 👣 ). I am so grateful to Professor Adelyn Wilson and the University of Strathclyde for allowing me to spend a semester on parental leave and then another on family-friendly research leave. This is a testament to the Law School and wider University's commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion 🌈 .

I resume my teaching and administrative duties today with renewed energy and enthusiasm and I cannot wait to welcome the new students of our LLM/MSc Law, Technology and Innovation next week 🤖 ⚖️ !

I am deeply thankful to Dr Birgit Schippers for providing amazing stewardship to the master's and tech law research group during my absence, I know she'll enjoy a much-deserved semester of research leave 🤗 .

I'm also looking forward to meeting my colleagues in and outwith Strathclyde Law School to resume our collaborations and explore new, exciting ones! ✨

I often worry that we've become inured to the harms of poorly applied data-driven decisions. This @alixdunn.com podcast with @kevindeliban.bsky.social @techntools.bsky.social is both sobering and humbling and quite an entertaining story of fighting the good fight open.spotify.com/episode/5yGc...
